0.8 is quite old. 0.9 is available at 
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9/mozilla-alpha-dec-o
sf4.0f.tar.gz

(There is no installer build for Tru64 Unix.)

Take a look in mozilla/chrome. It is likely that there are items both as 
directiores and as jar files (ie. foo/ and foo.jar). It should be safe 
to remove the directories.
(The bug is http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72390)

Then, you can remove the themes you don't use. Of modern.jar, 
classic.jar and blue.jar, you need either classic.jar or modern.jar. 
After removeing the unused themes, references to the deleted themes 
should probably be removed from installed-chrome.txt. (There is a theme 
uninstall feature, but it doesn't seem allow uninstalling the bundled 
themes.)

I suppose, embed.jar is non-critical to Mozilla-the-browser, but I am 
not entirely sure.

I suppose (untested! proceed at your own risk) the following files are 
safe to remove if Mail&News isn't used:

mozilla/liblber40.so
mozilla/libldap40.so
mozilla/chrome/messenger.jar
mozilla/components/libabsyncsvc.so
mozilla/components/libaddrbook.so
mozilla/components/libimpText.so
mozilla/components/libimport.so
mozilla/components/liblocalmail.so
mozilla/components/libmailnews.so
mozilla/components/libmime.so
mozilla/components/libmimeemitter.so
mozilla/components/libmozldap.so
mozilla/components/libmsgcompose.so
mozilla/components/libmsgdb.so
mozilla/components/libmsgimap.so
mozilla/components/libmsgnews.so
mozilla/components/libsmime.so
mozilla/components/libvcard.so
mozilla/components/mail.xpt

After this, there will still be Mail&News-related items inside the theme 
jar file ie. mozilla/chrome/classic.jar or mozilla/chrome/modern.jar. To 
remove those items, you need to unjar file, remove the messenger 
directory and rejar the theme, but that might not be worth the trouble.
